The .org in the productname directly makes clear this is an Open Source project and people are tempted to try out the name in a browser to see more about the product. So actually I think the .org is a good thing from a marketing point of view.

Nah, I don't like the .org at all. And I don't think it conveys "open souce" in the slightest. You don't hear people say "Linux.org" or "Firefox.org". There is no connection between a .org extension and an open source project. The only other project I can think of that has a .org is the name is X.org, and it's not the type of project that you try to sell to the uneducated masses. I think that word "open" is more likely to convey the concept of open source.

If we had a vote for a name change, I'd vote in favour of dropping the .org

Best,
Daniel.
